RENDER WHILE YOU WAIT
Hello everyone! After a whirlwind meeting yesterday with our Shanghai client, I find myself back in mainland China again - this time at a digital rendering "farm" in Shen Zhen. In designing the monorail system, we decided it would be helpful to have an animation done of the route, from the rider's point of view, so that we can optimize the sight lines and overall impact of the experience. It's so amazing to have these sorts of resources available, here in the far east! After handing my file over to the renderer and describing what we needed, I asked my translator "what day will the animation be ready?" After a few words in Cantonese, he responded "one hour."
More from the mainland soon...looks like a trip to Shanghai is in the works!

Nate, in my next life I want to be you! I am so jealous of your experience over there, and I am living vicariously through your blog!
I had to shut down my friendster account because it was acting crazy, but I wanted to let you know I am still here and still reading.
Also, I have a favor to ask. My boss was recently given a flag that his father took off a dead body in WWII in Japan. The flag has Japanese writing all over it, and he would like to have it translated. I immediately thought of you. Do you, or anyone you know over there, speak or read Japanese? If so, please let me know. I could get a scan of the flag to you as soon as possible.
I can't wait to hear from you, take care and keep updating!
